Has anyone else taken New whey liquid Protein shots? I am having a horrible time getting all my Protein in (nothing new there), and I have a suspicion that this is causing me to not lose faster, anyway.... The shots have 42 grams of protein per 3.2 oz shot (they are 15 dllrs for 6 shots) so I bought some thinking, this would give me over half of my required protein intake, and beside I am sick of Protein shakes. Any advice on these? The nutrition label claims no sugar added and 170 calories per shot, which is not so bad. Any input and experience would be appreciated it!

Hmmm. I have no answer for you but interested in responses... I had my surgery 11/22 and have hardly lost any weight and am also having a hard time getting my Protein in and feel this may be part of it. I am getting 50-60 grams a day consistently from food but the Protein Shakes make me want to puke... Which is funny because I drank them pre-op just fine. If these get a

good review they may be that answer!

I don't trust product reviews online because people get paid to give them, a lot of times anyway. Since pre-op to now I have lost 37 lbs in 7 weeks which I thought I would lose more, but I am getting better at understanding this is a slow process, and that losing 2 lbs per week is better than nothing. Hope we get someone who has taken them; I will start taking them and tell you how it goes. They are fruit flavor so they may be a nice change from chalky Protein shakes.


I will check with my NUT, see what she thinks.

Almost 40 lbs in less than 2 months sounds like a pretty great loss to me...

I haven't tried them yet, but I ordered them from the Bariatric Pal Store, they should be in this week. I am like you, had no issues drinking the Protein drinks prior to surgery, but can't deal with them anymore.

My surgical team doesn't allow collagen Protein, what is what the "New Whey" shots mostly are, despite their name. They say the protein is just about worthless.

I have them in my fridge now. I purchased them to have on hand in case there was a day I didn't get all my Protein in. I have only had one and I didn't care much for it. I had the watermelon flavor, it was very thick and sickening sweet, that coming from somebody who "had" a love of sweets. I had to mix it with Water to get it down. An hour after I drank it I had awful stomach pains & had multiple trips to the bathroom.

I was given a couple of those Protein shots at the hospital. Blech!!!!!!! Worse than if I made it from liverwurst cough syrup......at that was the peach flavor.

I read about these here on the forum and was soo excited...started drinking them (a little bit in Water like an enhancer)

My NUT said they are garbage...its collagen Protein, not easily digested and we would only be absorbing a fraction.

Not worth it and I havent used them since I have at least 6 of them I should bring back to Vitamin shoppe

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
